Laughing Gas Sting Op
This is NewsChat: your source for the Truth in today’s news. Today is Tuesday, March 4, 2025 and I’m your host Jack Norton from JackAndKitty.com.
Undercover cops in Nashville, Tennessee busted two men Saturday night with 51,000 grams of nitrous oxide—enough laughing gas to fuel a wild party.
Caught in a sting after an online deal, the duo faces charges for selling fumes and drug paraphernalia, with one nabbing an extra marijuana possession rap.
They posted $11,000 bond and walked free by Sunday, leaving locals buzzing about the downtown crackdown.
Friends, scripture calls us to obey laws that protect the common good, and this bust exposes reckless choices that endanger others. Pray for these men to turn from destructive paths and seek redemption through Christ’s transformative grace.
Greed and lawlessness clash with God’s design for a flourishing life.
Fallen Officer’s Hospital Heroics
A gunman stormed a Pennsylvania hospital ICU Saturday, zip-tying staff and sparking a deadly shootout that tragically claimed Officer Andrew Duarte’s life.
Three workers and two cops were wounded before police took down the attacker, who’d scoped the place earlier that week.
The York community mourns a heroic cop as investigators dig into the motive behind the chaos.
Friends, in John 11:35 Jesus wept over brokenness, and this tragedy reveals a world aching for peace only He can bring.
We honor this heroic Officer’s sacrifice—laying down his life for others—and pray for healing for the wounded and justice tempered with mercy.
Evil strikes, but God’s love endures.

Toddler’s Doughnut Drama
Finally today, a toddler in Moore, Oklahoma dialed 911 with a doughnut “emergency,” charming dispatchers with his persistence until cops delivered Dunkin’ treats to his door.
Using an old cellphone, little Bennett turned a quiet day into a viral giggle-fest, proving even outdated tech can spark joy. The Moore Police Department shared the hilarious call, delighting social media last week.
God’s creation brims with humor and innocence, as this child’s antics show. Praise Him for moments of light amid chaos, and pray Bennett’s joy points others to the simple delight found in faith.
Laughter’s a gift—cherish it!
